"what you up to?"
Su Qinghe stared warily at Su Qingcai, wondering what tricks he was up to.
Su Qingcai still smiled and said seriously, "As I just said, I brought the real 'sinner' to apologize to the Seventh Prince. At that time, the dog was greedy and Su Xiaoning just couldn't control it, which caused her to accidentally bump into someone. She was just the effect, but the dog was the cause!"
As he spoke, he gave Feng Jiuming a wink.
Feng Jiuming understood, immediately stood up, pointed at the pearl, and scolded:
“The Ninth Prince is right, this dog is truly wicked! As a dog, it should protect its master, but what has it done? It was greedy and harmed its master, which is disloyalty, and it caused Madam Qin to fall, which is inhumane! It truly deserves to die!”
Feng Jiuming looked furious, glaring at Pearl as if they had some deep-seated grudge. He treated Pearl like a person, listing its crimes one by one, which was both laughable and absurd.
Qin Yunyun quietly tugged at Su Qinghe's sleeve and whispered, "Your Highness, why don't we send them away? I wonder what tricks they're planning to use to harm you."
Su Qinghe frowned. The scene before him was utterly absurd, and he couldn't help but think it was a trap set by Su Qingcai to lure him in. He listened to Qin Yunyun's suggestion, waved his hand impatiently, and instantly the guards rushed out of the manor.
The guards made a move to drive away Su Qingcai and the onlookers, but Su Qingcai remained unmoved and said loudly, "Seventh Prince, don't be impatient! The people are concerned about the safety of the Holy Maiden. I'm apologizing to you in front of them now, so please don't disappoint them!"
"Yes! Why should we be kicked out!"
The people shouted and pushed forward desperately, and the guards, who dared not openly draw their weapons, were no match for them.
The scene was chaotic, but Feng Jiuming ignored it and continued to angrily accuse Pearl of her crimes.
Strangely enough, Pearl seemed to understand, and lowered its head amidst the scolding. Its humble, bowed head made it seem as if it was reflecting on its mistakes.
The people were amazed when they saw it: "This dog is truly intelligent! Wouldn't it be wonderful if it could live in harmony with the Holy Maiden!"
Pearl seemed to know what the people were saying. It suddenly stood up, ran through the crowd to Qin Yunyun, and knelt down on its four short legs, as if it were sincerely apologizing to her.
Qin Yunyun frowned and took a step back, hiding behind Su Qinghe. Su Qinghe's anger flared, and she glared at Feng Jiuming, who was still relentlessly criticizing the pearls, and said coldly, "Speak your mind! Don't think I'll fall for this!"
Su Qingcai raised an eyebrow and smiled, "We only revealed these charges to review the entire incident. Now, Seventh Prince should understand that all the blame lies with this dog, and has nothing to do with Su Xiaoning!"
Feng Jiuming's accusations were very persuasive, and as soon as Su Qingcai spoke, the surrounding people nodded in agreement, acknowledging his words.
Su Qinghe's face was very ugly. He roughly understood what Su Qingcai wanted to do, but it seemed too late to refute him at this point.
Feng Jiuming continued his incessant rant, finally shouting, "The world cannot tolerate a vicious dog like you! Go to hell and atone for your sins!"
Having said that, he drew a dagger and approached Pearl.
Su Qinghe raised an eyebrow. He had no problem killing a dog, but it was an ominous thing to stain the gate of the Prince's mansion with blood, which was extremely worrying.
Feng Jiuming said he wanted to kill Pearl, but he pointed the tip of his knife at Qin Yunyun and walked towards Pearl step by step as if he were going to kill Qin Yunyun.
The blade was sharp, gleaming coldly, and Qin Yunyun's face turned pale, making her appear even more frail.
She moved closer to Su Qinghe, her eyes brimming with tears, looking exceptionally pitiful.
Seeing Qin Yunyun's appearance, Feng Jiuming became even more excited. He slowly walked up to Pearl, and after threatening Qin Yunyun, he suddenly pointed the knife downwards and stabbed her.
"You vicious dog, the world will never tolerate you again!"
"stop!"
An anxious shout came, and suddenly a burly man rushed out from the crowd and swung his hand to strike Feng Jiuming's hand.
Feng Jiuming didn't really intend to kill Pearl. He let go of her, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clatter.
The older brother picked up Pearl and affectionately stroked its little head: "I also have a dog at home, which looks a lot like this little thing. I can't bear to see it die! If you ask me, you should just let it go. It's all a human conflict, why blame the dog?"
His words seemed to open a floodgate, prompting dog lovers among the public to speak out.
"Yes, animals don't understand anything, why are you arguing with them!"
"Such a cute little dog, even if it made a mistake, it's forgivable! Although it bumped into Madam Qin, Madam Qin is fine now, isn't she?"
"Madam Qin is a saint! How could a saint not forgive a dog? Let's be forgiving!"
...
Once the dog lovers spoke up, the surrounding people thought it made sense and echoed their sentiments. For a moment, all voices were urging Qin Yunyun and Su Qinghe to forgive Pearl.
Su Qinghe clenched her fists, glaring angrily at Su Qingcai: "Su Qingcai! Is this your plan? What a clever scheme!"
"I don't understand what the Seventh Prince is saying." Su Qingcai's expression hadn't changed from beginning to end, and now the smile on his face looked particularly irritating. "I came here with the culprit to apologize to the Seventh Prince. Now that the people are saying this, shouldn't the Seventh Prince and Madam Qin do something?"
Su Qinghe was speechless, staring at Su Qingcai's slightly smug smile with a burning hatred.
Public opinion grew louder and louder, and under pressure, he had no choice but to step Qin Yunyun aside and have her personally express her forgiveness.
The people still didn't seem satisfied. The eldest brother, who was holding the pearl, walked up to Qin Yunyun and pushed the pearl forward, saying, "Your Majesty, look how cute this dog is. Why don't you hug it? Otherwise, people might not believe that you have forgiven it."
Qin Yunyun was on the verge of tears. She stood there, somewhat at a loss, not daring to reach out and take the pearl.
The surrounding cheers were so loud that the older brother simply shoved the pearl into Qin Yunyun's arms. Helpless, Qin Yunyun had no choice but to reluctantly hold the pearl in her arms.
Pearl was nestled obediently in Qin Yunyun's arms, but suddenly raised its head and grinned at Qin Yunyun. No one could see it from this angle, as if someone had taught it to show off.
Although Pearl had no teeth, its fierce expression still managed to frighten Qin Yunyun.
Qin Yunyun's expression changed, but she couldn't throw away the pearls, so she had to swallow her dissatisfaction and suffer in silence.
